Running it in a VM is probably the easiest solution. Free solutions such as VirtualBox and VMware Player are more than adequate. You could probably get by with a live CD; it might just be a pain reconfiguring things every session. You could store your files on a thumb drive and automate a lot of that though.

When you sign up for the course (PWB) you will have access to a download link that contains a BT4 VMware image. You can then run this image on VMWare player or Workstation, without the need to install Backtrack. The image provided by Offsec is "streamlined" for the course and contains HTML bookmarks and a few other updates.

My suggestion would use vmware server or vmware player if you have a lot of memory on your pc(highly recommended). Try using it since you are booting for the whole ISO or just the vmware image for bt4 . I know not all on the irc chatters of #offsec would answer to your question. Try also to create a vm for windows XP that might come in handy make sure its sp2. Personally I would prefer two pcs one with the video and one with the bt4. Anyways converting it to avi was like forever so I wouldn't advice that. Setup your leo or I guess they change it now right?! You guys would be using a template for a real pen test. Good luck and Godspeed I hope my opinion is sufficient.

as i remember for bt4 your in root shell already since your in root shelltry changing your password by typing root# passwd , It would prompt for a password then ask for confirmation key-in it again. After that do this I dont know which one works I am used to fedora before so type root# useradd "chorva" then after that #root passwd chorva so assign a password for the created user hope it helps. Anyways learning linux is really fun i might suggest visiting fedora forums just google it they have a lot how to's and categories are separated there. Community heads there are very helpful. One more thing try using or checking out www.tldp.org or for example they are asking you or you wanna try out a new command you could always use the man command like man useradd means show manual for the command useradd or adduser. something like that hope it helps happy linuxing!!!
